  3. Sir, I am not getting EPF and my salary is Rs. 20990/- per month and its a Autonomous Institute.
    I came to know that “Now a days PF is applicable Rs. 21000/- salaried employee” too is it true…?
    If yes “Why I am not getting EPF?

    Please suggest what to do next.

    • No sumanth, PF is common for all the organization which has more than 20 employee. So, you can check your organization strength and make sure that your organization enrolled with EPF or not.

      PF deduction will be 12% from your basic salary.

  10. ministry of labour should ensure security and stability of workers and those engaged in private organisations and institutions.There are a number of private medical and dental colleges in Greater Noida who are removing Highly qualified faculties, asking rather coercing them to resign without any positive reason and proper notice.
    Collecting EPF fund for Govt exchequer is secondary .Hopefully the ministies concerned will look into the matter immediately.

  12. Sir, I came to know that there is a High Court ruling where there is a provision of the employee to make a lumpsum payment of difference in the FPS was deducted on maximum of 6500/- and the Amount on which PF was deducted. By doing this the Family Pension amount after retirement would be much higher than 2500/- presently available.
    If this is correct, let me know how this voluntary contribution can be made. Through employer or directly by the employee.
